It is the season of the year when we show our customers how much we appreciate them by sending out our annual calendars. The response we get is always very positive – everyone loves our calendars.

In an age when most have people access to a digital calendar on their mobile devices and their desktop computers, it is surprising how many people use our calendar on a daily basis. The tactile and visual effects of ink on paper speak to people in a way that digital media never will. The paintings, created every year especially for our calendar, portray a view of Vancouver seen from the artist’s perspective. We often hear our customers say how they have looked at familiar places in a new way after seeing them through the artist’s eye.

This year, in the spirit of the holiday season, we are launching our Share and Care contest. This is an opportunity to show you care by sharing your story of your enjoyment of the Samco Calendar. Our staff will read your submissions and pick the one they feel best expresses the pleasure our calendar can bring. We will make a donation in the name of the winner to the CH.I.L.D. Foundation (The Foundation for Children with Intestinal and Liver Disorders).

Please show you care and share your story now. Hurry, contest ends January 31, 2016!
